Kincardine's Trent Perrier a part of the Queen's Guard in London England

A Kincardine local was a part of the honourable job in performing Public Duties on November 11, 2018. Trent Perrier of Kincardine was one of many in the Canadian Armed Forces who have been cleared for public duty and are serving as part of the Queen’s Guard in London England. Remembrance Day 2018 was not only a major mark in history because of it’s 100 years since the first war ended in 1918, but now for a local man it will be something he’ll cherish forever. “This deployment was a great honour, to be able to be one of the Queen’s guardsmen,” said Trent Perrier. “My grandfather served in WWII and was posted to England, so that also means a lot to me and my family,” added Perrier. The Royal Canadian Regiment from Garrison Petawawa consists of 82 members and the team was guarding the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, St. James Palace and Windsor Castle. “It was a great opportunity to meet some of the Royal family, I personally was a guard at St. James Palace and we worked long shifts everyday,” Perrier commented. “I personally talked to Princess Anne, we got to have a day of sports, and some rest, it was really special to be here for Remembrance Day,” Perrier said. The Public Duty service continued until November 12, 2018 and a Kincardine native will have stories to share back home for years to come.
